Free Music Review: "Look Upon These Works Mighty, And Despair..."
Hit: 5 Stars

Upon listening to Qntal 3: Tristan und Isolde, you think... "How can they get any better...?"

Qntal is a fusion born of Estampie - the very traditional medieval ensemble from Germany, and members who have performed with diverse experimental and electronic acts. Their sound is a dreamy, sometimes fractured, sometimes hallucinatory fusion of the ancient and modern. They only superficially resemble any other band. While some place them in the categories of "goth", "medieval", "dance", "electro" and even "new age" Qntal is all and none of these things. And in fact, their name, Qntal is a word signifying their ethos: a fusion that incorporates multi-cultural linguistic structure, yet is completely cryptic.

I was thrilled to find that Qntal tackled Ozymandias. It is one of my favorite tales. The poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley is a cautionary story of the once great and ancient fallen into decay. While the themes of love, passion, and tones of deep red permeated Tristan und Isolde, so do the hints of loss and despair seep into Ozymandias. But not all is dark in Qntal's latest outing. Blac , Indiscrete and Flamma are vibrant pieces that hallmark Qntal's amazing ability to merge ambient, dance, and ancient language and music into something potent and vital.

Lyrics from classic poetry and music are used through out the album to devestatingly beautiful effect. The strains of traditional medieval Mass music and Carmina Burana are so completely and successfully assimilated by Qntal as to make the sound something nearly entirely new.

Qntal IV took a tiny bit of getting used to after listening to Qntal III for over a year. But then, each Qntal album is amazingly different yet beautifully coherent. These transitions are what keep Qntal original, refreshing, and inspiring.

IV: Ozymandias Poster

Qntal's fourth studio album sees the band expanding their horizon slightly. For the first time, a few songs are in English, and lyrical influences have expanded slightly to reach a bit beyond the Renaissance. Still, the core remains, and fans of Qntal's signature blend of medieval instruments and languages with a touch of modern electronics will not be disappointed.
